Peter said in Acts 2:38 that people must repent, be baptized and then they shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is through baptism that we formally make our commitment to permanently turn from sin and surrender our lives to God. Baptism pictures the death and burial of our old sinful self and our resurrection into a new life in Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit within us.
